Two elements X and Y belong to group 1 a...

Two elements X and Y belong to group 1 and 2 respectively in the same period. Compare them with respect to:
(a) the number of valence electrons (b) valency (c) metallic character (d) size of the atoms (e) formulae of their oxides and chlorides.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) The valence electrons present in element X (group 1) and element Y (group 2) are 1 and 2 respectively.
(b) The valency of the element X is one while that of the element Y is two.
(c) Metallic character decreases along a period. This means that the element X is more metallic as compared to element Y.
(d) Atomic size decreases along a period. As a result, the element Y has a smaller size than the element X.
(e) For element X : oxide `(X_(2)O),` chloride (XCI).
For element Y : oxide (YO) and chloride `(YCl_(2)).`
